Stay Home and do Speech Therapy!

April 3, 2020

Our top 5 favourite things about teletherapy:

In case you didn't already know, ASC has been offering online speech therapy from the comfort and safety of your own home. Known in the industry as 'teletherapy' or 'telepractice', research shows that speech therapy via videoconferencing can be just as effective as in person therapy (read the research here).

2) Facilitates caregiver involvement. In young children (ages 1-4), teletherapy sessions increase caregiver involvement, which research shows leads to the best outcomes of therapy.

3) Enables parent coaching. Teletherapy is an excellent option for parent coaching sessions (e.g., for late-talking toddlers) during the critical period of language development (ages 0-3). Young children can be observed and strategies applied in their functional environment!
